EasyStaff Data Reveals 6.8× Growth in Payroll Use of Stablecoins

VILNIUS, Lithuania, Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In an exclusive new data from global B2B payments platform EasyStaff today revealed that corporate adoption of stablecoins for payroll has skyrocketed by 6.8 times year-over-year. The previously unpublished numbers for the first half of 2025 offer a first look into a significant shift in corporate treasury, as businesses move away from traditional banking rails toward digital assets for international payments.

This exclusive data shows that the average stablecoin deposit from corporations more than doubled, jumping 134% from €4,700 to €10,000. This can indicate a deliberate strategy by finance leaders to consolidate payments, reduce fees, and improve efficiency. The total volume of these transactions also nearly tripled.

The report, based on internal transaction data, is the first to quantify the accelerating trend of companies replacing legacy systems like SWIFT and SEPA for managing their global workforce. While the preference for crypto among freelancers has been known, this is the first concrete data showing how rapidly corporations are now driving this change.

Key Findings from the report: 

• Explosive Growth: Corporate stablecoin deposits grew from 5% to 13% of all B2B transactions on the platform, a 6.8x increase in their share.
• Increased Corporate Confidence: The average top-up size swelled by 134% to €10,000.
• Contractor Economy Standard: Crypto withdrawals by freelancers held firm at nearly 70%, confirming it as the default payout method.
• Untapped Hiring Corridors: The data uncovers a 71% rise in hiring between U.S./UAE-based companies and talent in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

EasyStaff's data also provides exclusive insight into the behavior of the modern contractor. While crypto withdrawal volume grew by 52%, the numbers show it is the preferred method for fast, recurring payments, with larger or taxable disbursements still favoring traditional bank transfers. This nuanced behavior has not been previously highlighted with specific figures.

This trend is further contextualized by recent industry analysis, including reports from FXC Intelligence and McKinsey, noting the mainstream adoption of stablecoins. However, EasyStaff's data is the first to provide specific growth metrics from a payments platform operating in this space.

By releasing this data, EasyStaff is providing a look into the potential future of global payroll. A "multi-rail" treasury strategy, which combines the security of wire transfers with the speed and efficiency of stablecoins, is no longer a theoretical concept but a practical necessity for companies competing for global talent.
